Campiglia Soana
We park in Campiglia Soana. Here, after a short briefing to get to know each other, we set off along the valley road
11:30WATER
Sanctuary of San Besso
We leave the main road and begin the long climb. We'll go up very slowly, taking it step by step the way we like, with a few breaks along the way. The climb will be a bit tough, but we'll make it. The effort of the ascent will be fully rewarded as we start to catch sight of the Sanctuary of San Besso. One last steep stretch and we've reached our destination.
16:00WATER
Return to the Valley
We'll descend the opposite side with a long downhill stretch that brings us back to Campiglia Soana. Those who wish can stop for a snack at the local chalet. It will be a wonderful day. This place will stay in your heart. You'll have shared everything with new friends, and that's the right spirit for approaching these beautiful hikes. I'll be waiting for you!!! P.S. Just keep the elevation gain in mind and consider whether you feel up to it.
